The
village that uses Coca-Cola to combat evil, a dwarf city... and the place where
the dead outnumber the living 1,000 to 1.
Chamula
is a smallmtown in Mexican highlands, people from that village do not like
taking pictures or allow people to snap them. They believe taking pictures of
them is taking their souls. They told tourist in their town Aside from
its generally spooky ambiance, the real draw of Chamula, which you can get to
on a day trip from the central highlands town of San Cristobal las Casas, is
the church, inside which some true sorcery takes place. Hundreds of candles
burn for Mayan spirits, Disney stickers plaster the walls and a cassette plays
Christmas music - whatever the time of year.
Pine needles coat the floor, and townspeople sit
with live chickens in their laps, sipping on coca cola and the local
moonshine. Every so often, a chicken is sacrificed.
It's widely believed that the babies in Chamula are fed Coca Cola to make them burp, which in turn expels dark spirits.
Chamula
is just one of the world's creepiest towns.
